Ian Watt: Hi good afternoon it's Ian Watt
in Downtown Vancouver. Yesterday were invited to the Real Estate Board
and at the Real Estate Board they had this in there to see how wicked
improved professionalism and tight to media etc etc. they're thinking
about doing this to direct to the website. So they're about 6 realtor
someone from the BC Real Estate Association somebody from the Real
Estate Board of Greater Vancouver and someone from the tech industry. So
were chatting about all this but the one thing I've been pushing for if
were going to go and try and raise a professionalism is public,
knowledge, transparency and accountability. Now what I'm thinking is, if
you highlight a map is everything about real estate is hyper look
that's all people care about is what's happening in their neighborhood.
If you highlight a map and you put the last six month sales and my name
pops up somebody else name pops up everyone's name pops up and it tells
you who knows the area and who's actually sold in there. That's one
thing that's important and also on top of that we want or I want the
clients of both of the two realtor involved to rate their realtor on
that transaction so what happen is a week after closing my client gets
an email from the Real Estate Board the buyers client gets a buyers
realtor client gets an email from the Real Estate Board and they get to
rate their realtor on how well they did. That score should be publicize
and our average should be out there. And how many sales we've done in
the last twelve months that is very important the more knowledge the
public has the more professional our profession will become. It's very
important I don't think suspensions can help anybody, I don't think
education helps anybody but if I'm doing a transaction and my client I
know is going to rate me and they're going to say Ian did this and got a
9 out of 10 or a 10 out of 10 or a 2 out of 10 I know that how hard I
work will impact my future business and that will raise professionalism
in our industry. It's all about public information and accountability.
My name is Ian Watt and if you have any questions. You can always email
